UNIT 0
Introductions
Welcome to DC Circuit Fundamentals! Establish community, norms, and course expectations.
UNIT 1
Basic Electrical Safety
Students derive electrical safety rules from investigation of dangerous scenarios — not memorization.
UNIT 2
Basic Mathematics for Electronics
Master the mathematical tools engineers use every day: scientific notation, SI units, and metric conversions.
UNIT 3
Electronic Components
Learn to identify, read, and interpret electronic components and schematic symbols.
UNIT 4
Basic Electrical Theory
Build the foundational model of electricity from atomic structure to a working circuit on a breadboard.
UNIT 5
Electronic Measurement Equipment
Master the digital multimeter — the universal diagnostic tool of every electronics technician.
UNIT 6
Electronic Measurements
Learn to measure and calculate resistance, current, voltage, and power — and understand why measured values differ from calculated ones.
UNIT 7
Ohm's Law
Discover and apply the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in all DC circuits.
UNIT 8
Series Circuits
Analyze and calculate values in series circuits, and discover Kirchhoff's Voltage Law through hands-on exploration.
UNIT 9
Soldering
Learn the craft of professional soldering — from safety to splice technique to quality inspection.
UNIT 10
Parallel Circuits
Discover how parallel circuits differ from series in every measurable way — and why most real-world wiring is parallel.
UNIT 11
Series/Parallel Combination Circuits
Analyze complex circuits that combine series and parallel sections using systematic simplification strategies.
